2023 Projected Target Share

<— return to 2023 Playbook


Target Share is the amount of targets a player gets divided by the total amount of pass attempts within his offense. The higher the target share, the more involved they are in their offense. In this article by Kenny Hyttenhove, we find out that targets have an 84% correlation to PPR Points for RBs, 86% for WRs and 87% for TEs. Target Share is a useful stat for all three, but clearly the TE position is the one to take notice of here. Below you will find our projected target share’s for 2023.


Tight Ends: (87% correlation)(furthermore, targets = 98% correlation)

Wide Receivers: (86% correlation)
